Transcription

1 Ace of Discs Ace of Discs: After playing a game with acorns, a baby naps by a fire while a leopard cub licks her stomach. Right: She goes out to meet what's coming her way. Significator is the starting point of who or what I am right now at the time of the reading Ace of Swords Ace of Swords: A woman balances on a sword as a butterfly guides her vision. Right: She pushes an action or idea. Atmosphere is the event, catalyst or action that sets the stage for the reading and is what's behind the reading or question. MotherPeace Deck Page 1

2 Ten of Wands Ten of Wands: The priestesses are having an all-night trance dance to raise energy for healing themselves and others. Left: She is using some discretion or holding back on energy. Crosscurrent is the lesson I'm learning which may tell me about a skill I need to acquire. Seven of Swords Seven of Swords: A fox figures out a way into the chicken coop. Reversed: She no longer needs to plan her every move. She may be able to be more direct and not manipulate. She needs to make amends if she's hurt someone. Root is what I'm standing on - the unconscious influences and what I feel in my body. MotherPeace Deck Page 2

3 Wheel of Fortune Wheel of Fortune: The Wheel of Fortune indicates a time when something lifts us out of our accustomed life and drops us somewhere new. It can feel like a twist of fate because this card is about astrological influence and cyclical change. The Wheel of Fortune spins the energy in our lives out of everyday reality onto a new horizon or place on the wheel. Each horizon is a different square or astrological sign. Check the position of the card to find the corresponding astrological sign. Passing Away is an event in the recent past, such as last week or even earlier in the day and is important to the reading in some way. The astrological sign that falls below the horizon or ascendent is the key to what the card means in a particular situation. If the card is upright, Aries is on the ascendent. An Aries person or energy will be important in the coming change, or the change will occur around the Aries time of year. Aries: She is a dancer bringing forth new forms to life. Her practical attitude is grounded in giving herself to the world. She lives in spontaneous action. Three of Discs Three of Discs: The women are building a house together. Left: She is distracted or held back from her work. Sky is what hangs over the reading. It is my head, conscious self, or spirit connection, and sometimes represents my personality or how I act in the world. MotherPeace Deck Page 3

4 Daughter of Wands Daughter of Wands: The Daughter is going to a new home with her companion, the unicorn. The whooping cranes guide the way. Reversed: Her spontaneous energy is blocked. Is she stopping herself or letting others stop her? Near Future is an event that will happen soon, probably in the next week or as soon as later in the day and is something that is significant to the overall reading Six of Swords Six of Swords: A group of women place their swords together and are able to fly. Reversed: She can't make sense of what she sees or she can't see anything clearly right now. She may feel confused, baffled or bewildered. Self-Concept is how I feel or think about myself and I pay attention to whether it is in harmony or conflict with the Significator. The Self- Concept is an attitude and it can be changed or updated if it seems to lag behind what the rest of the reading is saying about me. MotherPeace Deck Page 4

5 Ace of Wands Ace of Wands: A baby is born from a robin's blue egg and fire ignites this new life. Right: She may feel more energy than she knows what to do with. Hopes and Fears could be either or both a hope and a fear. If the card is a Major Arcana, it is a current reality as well. Strength Strength: The Irish fairy Goddess Brigit has come to her place of power. She's joined by twelve animals, and she makes the thirteenth. These animals know her well and trust her. She in turn feels safe enough to expose her passion for life and the earth. She holds out her ego in the shape of a small sun. With one sniff, the wolf knows where she's going next. Left: Strength hesitates and may feel she wants too much. She disbelieves in the unseen forces. House is an individual or group that is important to the reading in some way and may be a source of support or a negative influence. MotherPeace Deck Page 5

6 Ace of Cups Ace of Cups: A woman dives into a cup of self-love, spilling water over onto a pair of mated swans. Upright: She loves herself. She may be falling in love with someone else and hearts are opening. Outcome If the card is a Major Arcana, it indicates how the reading or cycle will turn out or resolve itself. Daughter of Swords Daughter of Swords: The Daughter stands on a rock, waves her sword and whistles for the wind. The wind comes in the shape of a horse and is welcomed by the other inhabitants of the wild land: a mountain goat, black sheep and javelina. Upright: She has energy to start new things and is ready to stir things up in her life or someone else's. She wants to turn her ideas into something and she doesn't want anything to get in her way. Outcome MotherPeace Deck Page 6

7 Five of Discs Five of Discs: A woman kneads dough to make bread. Reversed: She isn't consumed by the obstacles in her life. She creates alternatives and other options for herself. She's discovered new ways of taking care of herself. Outcome Five of Swords Five of Swords: A yellow jacket has landed, and is surrounded by swords. Upright: She is in a negative pattern or downward spiral and needs not to panic. Instead she can figure out how the pattern or story is created and look for ways to change it. Much of her energy is drained off into fear of getting stung or wanting to get back at someone. Outcome MotherPeace Deck Page 7
